[[The Daria Shrine]], [[The Green Sink]], and [[The Sh33p's Fluff]] had not been updated in many months by this period, further limiting the options for posting new fanworks or reading new fandom-related material. [[Sick, Sad World]] is the lone exception to the trend, having updated for the first time since February 2006 on July 17, 2007. The [[Lawndale Sun-Herald (website)|Lawndale Sun-Herald]] continues to be updated on a more-or-less regular basis.

An unintentional irony is that, because of the perception held by many in Daria fandom that the Implosion signaled a potential collapse of the fandom itself, '''the implosion actually signalled a rebirth of the fandom'''. New authors such as [[Doggieboy]], [[cyde]] and [[Legendeld]] appeared with new signature works such as [[Apocalyptic Daria]] and [[An Overlooked Flaw]]; introducing new and popular characters to the [[Daria Expanded Universe]] such as [[Odell Jones]] (destined to become a member of the '[[Rogue's Gallery]]' in Daria fandom) and [[Danielle Todds]] (perhaps the first female character created to act as a serious examination of [[Quinn]]'s sexuality). Also, new artists such as [[DJ Potatoe]] arrived on the scene. Established authors such as [[Kristen Bealer]] and [[Brother Grimace]] re-established themselves with a flurry of new works or by the continuation of popular series (in the latter case, taking over the authorship of [[Legion of Lawndale Heroes]]; while known artists like [[S.C.]] brought forth new and exciting works.
